Bills

You can view the resource usage and bills for different billing cycles on the Bills page in the Billing Center.

Bill Generation

Transaction records for yearly/monthly subscriptions are generated immediately after being paid for.

Pay-per-use resources are billed by the hour, day, or month, depending on their usage types. The file system usage is billed by the hour. For details, see Bill Run for Pay-per-Use Resources.

You are not charged immediately after a record is generated. For example, if a pay-per-use file system (which is billed on an hourly basis) is deleted at 08:30, you will still have expenditures for the 08:00 to 09:00 hour. However, you will not likely be billed for the 08:00 to 09:00 hour until about 10:00. On the Bills page of the Billing Center, select the Bill Details tab. Expenditure Time in the bill indicates the time when the pay-per-use resource is used.
